Planning Considerations

Alterations to Facilities
Projects requiring major modification to existing facilities must be resolved at the departmental level and approved at the administrative level.
Animal Subjects Research
Research projects involving the use of animals must receive formal review and approval from the IACUC prior to proposal submission.
Computer Purchases
Computer equipment and peripherals listed on grant budgets will be reviewed by ITS to ensure that the equipment is suitable for campus computing and compatible with the campus network.
Curriculum Development
In accordance with the Educational Policy Committee’s (EPC) policy on curriculum revision, proposals containing certain elements of curriculum development are subject to review by the EPC prior to proposal submission.
Equipment
Individuals wishing to include the purchase of major equipment should consult with the department chair well in advance of proposal submission. Installation of major equipment also requires written approval and a cost estimate from the director of the physical plant.
Equipment Insurance
The following categories of insurance coverage for equipment should be noted when writing a proposal: equipment housed on campus, equipment housed off campus and privately owned equipment.
Hazardous Waste Management
The control and storage of hazardous waste is the responsibility of each project director and department generating toxic materials.
Human Subjects Research
Projects that include a human subjects component must receive formal review and approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to proposal submission.
Sabbaticals or Leaves of Absence
Faculty members are encouraged to plan well in advance for sabbaticals and leaves of absence. Faculty eligible for sabbatical leave, assistant professor leave, or planning a leave of absence should carefully review institutional policies and procedures governing these activities.
